Democrats want me to vote for them in Tennessee.
Before I do, they must convince me that they won't run our state like they run California, New York or New Jersey, or our cities like they do Los Angeles, Chicago and, sadly, Memphis.
There are good reasons blue-state populations move to red states like Tennessee, as reported in The Tennessean. Democratic party-enacted high taxes, expensive housing and business costs top the list.
What will Democrats do differently in Tennessee if given power? They haven't said.
Until then: If it ain't broke; don't fix it.
